My neighbor bought the house next to me about 2 years ago. A nice young white couple. Couple weeks after he moved in I had them over for BBQ. Since then I've loaned him tools and helped out from time to time, like when a storm blew a tree down. He's also someone who gets bottles of wine that I brew. I get to test new recipes on them. Either way, I get a text from him yesterday asking if I were home, but I happened to be at the hardware store. Told him I'd be home soon and asked why. He didn't respond. I get home and find a large package on my doorstep with a note saying thank you for being the best neighbor ever and for all my help. He noticed I had a compost pile that I turned with a pitchfork, but no barrel turner so he bought new one for me as a thank you/early Christmas gift. He left it before leaving town for the day.

Then I get home after work today and find a wine box with empty bottles in it and a note with a $50 gift card in it. It's from an older neighbor couple on the other side. Saying thank you for being a good neighbor and sharing my wine hobby with them. Telling me I have a knack for my "hobby".

I don't get emotional very easily, but I'm touched. I don't do things because I expect something, I do them because it's right. I treat others how I want to be treated, until you give me reason otherwise. 2 days in a row?! I'm feeling humbled.

Where I'm from we'd simply say "that's mighty White of you." We should bring this statement back in style.

I agree actually. A turd can never change. Embracing yourself is very mature of your destiny. Does it feel weird not living in your jungle homeland? Do you enjoy the snow? Some monkeys frolic, domestic ones usually hide.

Anyways. Welcome outsider to the land your White European overlords have created for you and your diaper wearing brethren.
